for their safety. The fire originated in
the drying room of the laundry depart
ment and spread rapidly, burning the
whole annex. The laundry, gas house,
bakery and engine-room were IN flames
almost instantly. For some time IL was
feared the whole building was doomed.
All that could be done was to keep the
flames from spreading TO the asylum
proper. The roads were 50 muddy and
the distance so great that it was almost
an hour from the time when the fire
fist started to the time of the arrival of
the fire department. The fire was ex-

There were great many who came into

OF the times, and not having the interest

ment will unite into one grand reform or

On the question of politics he holds
that the great mass of working people
are all wrong. They look too high. His
principle which he wishes 10 inculcate

ONE can scarcely ever step out upon a
thoroughfare without having his feelings
sorely hurt by the cruelty SO commonly
practiced toward the patient and faithful
horse. The stroke of the lash sounds on
all sides; while coarse and angry threats
and urgings are heard continually. As a
rule, ON starting, the lash precedes the
word of command; and the first notice
the poor horse has, is cut with the
whip, often vicious one too. Not un-
frequently so keen and crEel is the stroke
that the heart of the sympathizer for the
moment stops it's beat; and he suffers
almost as severely as he would had the
lash fell upon him instead of the horse.
The heavier the load and the more worn
and weary the poor horse, the more the
lash is applied by the iuhuman brute who
rides and drives, All men are not thus
cruel to be sure, but the majority are.
Many are perhaps unconscious Of the tx
tent of their cruelty, while many more
are cruel by nature and disposition.
The extent OF this almost universal
i'll treatment and abuse of the noblest
and most useful of all animals, is attestej
by the fact that not one horse in ten that
has seen service, can bo found without
some injury Or blemish caused by mans
inhumanity. What Il comment on civil
